The University of Louisville baseball team, which has won or shared three of the past four Big East Conference regular-season titles, has been tabbed as the 2013 favorite by the league's 11 head coaches.

The Cardinals, who fell to eventual NCAA champion Arizona in the Tucson Regional last season, received eight first-place votes and 98 points in the Big East preseason poll. St. John's, which tied U of L for the regular-season crown and won the conference tournament, was second with 82 points, edging Notre Dame by one.
